Re: Why has the Inkscape team given up on OS X?

The Inkscape download page says 0.48.4 but it still links to the old 0.48.2 file.
I can't see the request for OS X developers on the Inkscape site either.
I really hope some OS X developers will join in.

Happy New Year Inkscape

Thanks druban, But i don't see how this will be easy as in helping me doing for example an ornament like pattern like my previous posted image?

Re: Seamless pattern maker?

Thanks for the replies. What i would like to have is an easier way to produce images that are tilable for using as 3D textures and large background images.

Seamless pattern maker?

Hi, Does anyone know if there's anything in the work to make seamless patterns easy? I like the ease of Inkscape and use it as much as possible to make graphic and textures for Blender rather than doing it in pixel based programs so i can return and rescale and modify when needed. But one thing that...

Re: Rotation by numbers like Indesign

If i look at the XML editor i can see that after I've rotated an object it gets an Transformation tag. I know nothing about coding but if i clear that tag the object resets to 0 rotation again (as well as moves for some reason) So the rotation info already is saved. Still the Transform tool shows 0 ...

Re: Rotation by numbers like Indesign

Hello Jelle, Yes i know of the Object Transform but it doesn't show rotations you've made freely, only made from that Transform tool. It wouldn't be practical to type in numbers to try do a rotation as needed from the Transform tool. Also if you rotate more than once you can't reset the object to 0 ...

Rotation by numbers like Indesign

Hello, One thing i often feel is missing in Inkscape is to click an object or group that I've previous have freely rotated and see the degree it now is rotated and be able to change or even reset the rotation. The funny thing is that Illustrator actually seems to miss this feature to while Indesign ...

Re: The "The fantastic lxml wrapper..." issue in OS X 10.7.1

Thanks ~suv!

I used the EggBot2.2.2.r2 patch from your link and it worked great.
I thought that the needed python libraries was included in the Inkscape app to avoid these things?

Anyway... great forum for help Thanks :P
